Good thought Jo22 but couldn't find anything on their archive website about the requirements for the h.264 add-on :( Maybe was included in a text with the add-on like you mentioned. The DXVA Checker site has a chart, here is the nVidia chart: https://bluesky-soft.com/en/dxvac/deviceInfo/decoder/ …

I found most drivers, but now I need TouchPad driver for Windows Vista 64-bit. The original filename of package is 'TouchPad_Synaptics_v9.2.3.1_WinVista_x64.zip'. Yep that is what was on the old Acer-euro ftp site, let me check my ftp archives.... Yep found it. Will post to Vogons library... added …

Yeah...No such thing as Asus P2L92 afaik... maybe P2L something like P2L97 or P2L98 (hp oem) but not a P2L92 unless it is some odd-ball oem not listed at Asus, theretroweb.com or even Google ;p

Or third party tools. Norton disk doctor or similar for Win9x will give something not as good as native XP but close.

Thanks for the recommendations everyone. I ended up ordering a Dell AT101W off Ebay, so we'll see how that one works out. Good choice ! There is a person in my area with AT101W for sale but wants to much to ship and has not replied on a local pickup or have would grabbed it. Have a few vintage …

My late 1990's Keytronic PS2 keyboard says: Requires 5v @ 500mA max. Not sure about your laptop but many mainboards have a 125v-2A fuse to KBD/Mouse from memory of replacing one. Just double checked two of my boards and that is what they have, that power though splits to both connectors. So you …

Try it with CPU and cards removed and the DVM in Ohms mode. if 0 to 3 ohms is a short, if less than 50 ohms is suspect. Most of my XT, 286, etc boards ever tested had about 100 ohm or better from any PSU connector when no cpu or cards installed. Just a suggestion...added: and a generic answer. …
Re: Intel closes Celeron and Pentium brands
Posted on 2022-09-17, 04:14
Yes, and I do not like how Intel has changed the Core series. It used to be (until a few years ago) that a i7 was better than a i5, even if the i5 was the next gen over i7. Not any more.... Now a new gen i5 can be equal or better than last gen i7 and they are pumping out the next gens in barely 6-8 …

Did you try to boot without the floppy card install ? I have a XT floppy I/O card with clock similar to what you have. It uses a special util to set/write the date and time to it, an is not Y2K compliant 😀

Incidentally, the CD link that you directed me to has the required patch in order to make Tempest 2000 work with the Wingman Warrior controller, so this should be amazing if I can get it working. I'm attaching the patch for the DOS version of Tempest, since it seems scarce. Cheers That patch (and a …
